OpenPose and its current applications in sports and exercise science: a review

Baldinger, Melanie, Senner, Veit 14 October 2022 (has links)
The aim of this scoping review is to investigate current applications of a markerless human pose estimation (HPE) algorithm in sports and exercise science. 17 studies are selected for this pur-pose. Results show that HPE is applied already in a variety of sports for different aims and pur-poses. Even though it provides many advantages over marker-based approaches, it still comes with challenges that need to be tackled in future research. / Ziel dieser Übersichtsarbeit ist es, die aktuellen Anwendungen eines markerlosen Algorithmus zur Schätzung der menschlichen Körperhaltung (HPE) in der Sport- und Bewegungswissenschaft zu untersuchen. Zu diesem Zweck wurden 17 Studien ausgewählt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass HPE bereits in einer Vielzahl von Sportarten mit unterschiedlichen Zielen und Zwecken eingesetzt wird. Obwohl sie viele Vorteile gegenüber markerbasierten Ansätzen bietet, gibt es immer noch Herausforderungen, die in der zukünftigen Forschung angegangen werden müssen.

An exploration of reflective writing and self-assessments to explain professionalism lapses among medical students

Hoffman, Leslie Ann January 2014 (has links)
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / Background: Recent literature on medical professionalism claims that self-awareness and the ability to reflect upon one’s experiences is a critical component of professionalism; however there is a paucity of empirical evidence to support this claim. This study employed a mixed methods approach to explore the utility of reflective writing and self- and peer assessments in explaining professionalism lapses among medical students. Methods: A retrospective case-control study was conducted using students from Indiana University School of Medicine (IUSM) who had been disciplined for unprofessional behavior between 2006-2013 (case group; n=70). A randomly selected control group (n=230) was used for comparison. Reflective ability was assessed using a validated rubric to score students’ professionalism journals. Mean reflection scores and assessment scores were compared using t-tests. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the impact of reflection scores and self- and peer assessment scores on the likelihood of having been disciplined for unprofessional behavior. Subsequent qualitative analysis further explored when and how students learned professionalism during their clinical experiences. Results: The study found that students in the case group exhibited lower reflective ability than control students. Furthermore, reflective ability was a significant factor in explaining the odds that a student had been cited for professionalism lapses. There were no differences in self-assessment scores between the two groups, but students in the case group had significantly lower peer assessment scores than control students. Peer assessment scores also had the greatest influence on the odds that a student had been cited for professionalism deficiencies during medical school. Qualitative analysis revealed that students learn professionalism from role models who demonstrated altruism and respect (or lack thereof). Conclusions: These findings suggest that students should be provided with guidance and feedback on their reflective writing to promote higher levels of reflection, which may reduce the number of students who are cited for professionalism lapses. These findings also indicate that peer assessments can be used to provide students with insightful feedback regarding their professional development. Finally, role models have a strong influence on students’ professional development, and therefore must be cognizant of the implicit messages their behaviors convey.

Tendencias de producción y financiación de la investigación biomédica en la Comunitat Valenciana. Análisis bibliométrico 2008-2015

Garzón Rams, Vanessa 27 June 2022 (has links)
[ES] Los centros biomédicos de la Comunitat Valenciana investigan mucho sobre salud, pero se sabe menos sobre quiénes desarrollan y financian esa investigación biomédica, objeto de estudio de la presente tesis. Nuestro trabajo analiza indicadores bibliométricos, que ofrecen resultados estadísticamente significativos cuando la muestra es grande, verificables y reproducibles. Ahora bien, son meramente cuantitativos, parciales, convergentes y relativos. Quienes trabajan en centros de investigación de Alicante, Castellón o Valencia publican cada año cerca de 2.000 artículos y revisiones incardinados en las 68 disciplinas más estrechamente vinculadas a la salud, de acuerdo con el análisis de los registros publicados entre 2008 y 2015. Los investigadores de la Comunitat Valenciana escriben más artículos que revisiones (91% frente a 9%) y, en 6 de cada 10 casos, se indica la fuente de financiación. La producción científica crece año tras año no solo por el aumento del número de revistas que salen al mercado o porque cada vez se indizan más. Ese incremento se apoya sobre todo en los artículos, no tanto en las revisiones. La investigación biomédica se escribe en inglés (88% de las publicaciones analizadas). El predominio de la lengua de Shakespeare va a más año tras año. El segundo idioma, sobre todo en los documentos sin financiación, es el español. Los artículos y revisiones con autoría valenciana se publicaron entre 2008 y 2015 en 2.359 revistas de 50 países diferentes (sólo 37 de ellas se editan en España). La revista española con más artículos publicados durante el periodo de estudio es Nutrición Hospitalaria. La revista extranjera, Food Chemistry. Estados Unidos e Inglaterra son los países que editan más revistas con producción de autoría valenciana aunque, cuando no hay financiación, es España. Los 17.437 trabajos descargados de la WoS y publicados entre 2008 y 2015 los firman autores/as adscritos a 343 centros de investigación (33% es del sector privado y el 25% se relaciona con la sanidad pública). Ahora bien, el mundo académico, no el hospitalario, es la cuna del saber biomédico, con la Universitat de València como centro que más producción científica acumula en el periodo. La autoría corresponde a un único centro de investigación en tres de cada cuatro trabajos y lo más habitual es que haya varios firmantes, no uno solo. La investigación biomédica valenciana la paga la administración pública, asociaciones, la Universidad, la banca, los laboratorios o las sociedades científicas¿ unas 3.400 agencias financiadoras entre 2008-2015. La que más producción biomédica sufraga es el Instituto de Salud Carlos III. La financiación alternativa no se refleja todavía en la WoS. Respecto a la influencia de sus obras, la Universitat de València es la que más citas acumula, pero los más eficientes son el Instituto de Neurociencias de Alicante y el Centro de Investigación Príncipe Felipe (CIPF). Casi todos los documentos estudiados (89%) han recibido al menos una cita. Para documentos con financiación, la revista que más citas acumula, en términos absolutos, es Blood y, en términos relativos, Autophagy. Cuando no hay fondos, las revistas que destacan son Journal of Hypertension en términos absolutos y Annual Review of Cell and Development Biology, respectivamente.Las revistas editadas en Estados Unidos e Inglaterra son las que tienen más visibilidad e impacto. Además, la mitad de los trabajos estudiados se sitúan en los tres primeros cuartiles. Finalmente, las áreas temáticas con más artículos publicados son Bioquímica y Biología Molecular y Oncología, campos donde trabajan grupos potentes de profesionales. Sobre indicadores los mixtos, destaca el peso de las instituciones investigadoras privadas en la provincia de Valencia cuando, en término autonómicos, la sanidad pública y el mundo académico concentran el 82% de producción y el 34% de citas. Además, Castellón supera a Alicante en número absoluto de citas. / [CA] Els centres biomèdics de la Comunitat Valenciana investiguen molt sobre salut, però se sap menys sobre qui desenvolupa i financia els treballs de recerca biomèdica, objecte d'estudi de la present tesi. El nostre treball analitza indicadors bibliomètrics, que ofereixen resultats estadísticament significatius quan la mostra és gran, verificables i reproduïbles. Ara bé, són merament quantitatius, no qualitatius, parcials, convergents i relatius. Els profesionals que treballen en centres d'investigació d'Alacant, Castelló o València publiquen cada any prop de 2.000 articles i revisions incardinats en les 68 disciplines més estretament vinculades a la salut, d'acord amb l'anàlisi dels registres publicats entre 2008 i 2015. Els investigadors de la Comunitat Valenciana escriuen més articles que revisions (91% enfront de 9%) i, en 6 de cada 10 casos, s'indica la font de finançament.

El predomini de la llengua de Shakespeare va a més any rere any. El segon idioma, especialment en els documents sense finançament, és l'espanyol. Els articles i revisions amb autoria valenciana es van publicar entre 2008 i 2015 en 2.359 revistes de 50 països diferents (només 37 d'elles s'editen a Espanya). La revista espanyola amb més articles publicats durant el període d'estudi és Nutrició Hospitalària. La revista estrangera, Food Chemistry. Els Estats Units i Anglaterra són els països que editen més revistes amb producció d'autoria valenciana encara que, quan no hi ha finançament, és Espanya. Els 17.437 treballs descarregats de la WoS i publicats entre 2008 i 2015 els signen autors/as adscrits a 343 centres d'investigació (33% és del sector privat i el 25% es relaciona amb la sanitat pública). Ara bé, el món acadèmic, no l'hospitalari, és el bressol del saber biomèdic, amb la Universitat de València com a centre que més producció científica acumula en el període. L'autoria correspon a un únic centre d'investigació en tres de cada quatre treballs i el més habitual és que hi haja diversos signants, no un només. La investigació biomèdica valenciana la paga l'administració pública, associacions, la Universitat, la banca, els laboratoris o les societats científiques¿ unes 3.400 agències finançadores entre 2008-2015. La que més producció biomèdica sufraga és l'Institut de Salut Carles III. El finançament alternatiu no es reflecteix encara en la WoS. Respecte a la influència de les seues obres, la Universitat de València és la que més cites acumula, però els més eficients són l'Institut de Neurociències d'Alacant i el Centre d'Investigació Príncep Felip (CIPF). Quasi tots els documents estudiats (89%) han rebut almenys una cita. Per a documents amb finançament, la revista que més cites acumula, en termes absoluts, és Blood i, en termes relatius, Autophagy. Quan no hi ha fons, les revistes que destaquen són Journal of Hypertension en termes absoluts i Annual Review of Cell and Development Biology, respectivament. Les revistes editades als Estats Units i Anglaterra són les que tenen més visibilitat i impacte. A més, la meitat dels treballs estudiats se situen en els tres primers quartils. Finalment, les àrees temàtiques amb més articles publicats són Bioquímica i Biologia Molecular i Oncologia, camps on treballen grups potents de professionals. Respecte als indicadors mixtos, destaca el pes de les institucions investigadores privades a la província de València quan, en terme autonòmics, la sanitat pública i el món acadèmic concentren el 82% de la producció i el 34% de les cites. A més, Castelló supera a Alacant en nombre absolut de cites. / [EN] Biomedical centres in the Valencian Community do a lot of health research, but less is known about who develops and finances this biomedical research, which is the subject of this thesis. Our work analyses bibliometric indicators, which offer statistically significant results when the sample is large, verifiable and reproducible. However, they are merely quantitative, not qualitative, partial, convergent and relative. Those working in research centres in Alicante, Castellón and Valencia publish around 2,000 articles and reviews each year in the 68 disciplines most closely linked to health, according to an analysis of the records published between 2008 and 2015. Researchers in the Valencia Region write more articles than reviews (91% compared to 9%) and, in 6 out of 10 cases, the source of funding is indicated. Scientific production is growing year after year not only because of the increase in the number of journals that come onto the market or because they are increasingly indexed. This increase is mainly based on articles, not so much on reviews. Biomedical research is written in English (the language of 88% of the publications analysed). The predominance of Shakespeare's language is increasing year by year. The second language, especially in unfunded papers, is Spanish. Articles and reviews with Valencian authorship were published between 2008 and 2015 in 2,359 journals from 50 different countries (only 37 of them are published in Spain). The Spanish journal with the most articles published during the study period is Nutrición Hospitalaria. The foreign journal, Food Chemistry. The United States and England are the countries that publish the most journals with Valencian authorship, although when there is no funding, it is Spain. The 17,437 papers downloaded from WoS and published between 2008 and 2015 are signed by authors attached to 343 research centres (33% are from the private sector and 25% are related to public health). However, the academic world, not the hospital world, is the cradle of biomedical knowledge, with the University of Valencia as the centre that accumulated the most scientific production in the period. Authorship corresponds to a single research centre in three out of every four papers, and it is most common for there to be several authors, not just one. Valencian biomedical research is paid for by the public administration, associations, universities, banks, laboratories and scientific societies... some 3,400 funding agencies between 2008-2015. The agency that funds most biomedical production is the Instituto de Salud Carlos III. Alternative funding is not yet reflected in the WoS. Regarding the influence of its works, the University of Valencia is the one that accumulates the most citations, but the most efficient are the Instituto de Neurociencias de Alicante and the Centro de Investigación Príncipe Felipe (CIPF). Almost all the documents studied (89%) have received at least one citation. For funded papers, the journal with the most citations in absolute terms is Blood and, in relative terms, Autophagy. When there is no funding, the journals that stand out are the Journal of Hypertension in absolute terms and the Annual Review of Cell and Development Biology, respectively. Journals published in the United States and England have the highest visibility and impact. In addition, half of the papers studied are in the first three quartiles. Finally, the subject areas with the most articles published are Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and Oncology, fields in which powerful groups of professionals work. Concerning the mixed indicators, the weight of private research institutions in the province of Valencia stands out, when, in regional terms, public health and the academic world account for 82% of the production and 34% of the citations. Moreover, Castellón exceeds Alicante in the absolute number of citations. / Garzón Rams, V. (2022). Tendencias de producción y financiación de la investigación biomédica en la Comunitat Valenciana.

國際競爭法的調和 / The Harmonization of International Competition Law

謝孟珊, Meng-Shan Hsieh Unknown Date (has links)
不論是反全球化或是支持全球化,我們都無法否認,全球化已經是一個現在進行式。另外一個與全球化一樣逐步成長的乃是市場經濟體制,市場經濟體制植基於開放競爭有助於資源合理分配的觀念,而全球化則擴大了資源分配的範圍。然而,全球化和市場經濟體制的發達,貿易壁壘的消除,也帶動跨國界限制競爭活動的發展,反托拉斯不再是單純的國內問題,而是國際問題。 國際反托拉斯所帶來的問題大致可分為下述兩種,一是阻礙國際貿易的發展,二是因為各國不同的反托拉斯標準造成國際緊張以及企業成本。第一類問題可以細分為下述幾種情況:1. 國際卡特爾破壞市場競爭機制以及消費者福祉; 2. 跨國公司在全球濫用獨占力,影響國際競爭秩序和消費者福祉;3. 競爭法的缺乏以及競爭法的不力執行構成市場進入障礙。第二類問題亦可以細分為下屬幾種情況:1. 國際合併的多國標準造成企業的額外成本,不利國際合併之進行,並造成國際緊張;2. 國與國間產業政策以及競爭政策的衝突。 面對上述這些跨國性的反托拉斯問題,各界紛紛提出競爭法調和的呼籲,此議題近來在各國際組織也漸獲重視。事實上為了處理國外限制競爭行為對國內所產生的影響,以保護本國利益,國內法方面已有所謂的「域外適用(extraterritorial application)」對策產生。但是競爭法的域外適用並無法全然解決現時國際限制競爭行為所帶來的問題,反而還帶來了新的問題,並造成國際緊張。為了在國際案件有效執行反托拉斯法,不論是在卡特爾案件或是獨占力濫用案件,各國競爭法主管機關互相合作與協調都是不可或缺的。至於將競爭法提升至國際法層次,避免國家以非關稅措施破壞自由貿易制度,似乎也有需要。 本文目的在於藉著對競爭法調和現況的瞭解和其成就之分析來尋求目前全球化時代,貿易自由化時代下跨國限制競爭問題的解決之道。 全文一共分為六章,第一章為緒論,為本論文做出開端,闡明全球化時代國際競爭秩序的問題,並提出研究範圍與目的。 第二章研究關於國際競爭秩序的雙邊條約,著眼於美國和歐盟,澳洲和紐西蘭,以及我國和世界各國所訂立的條約。討論範圍為該些雙邊關係所建立之合作內容,其具體成效,成功失敗之因素,以及可供世界各國借鏡之處。台灣部分則著眼於我國目前現狀之檢討,和未來走向之研究。 第三章為從事競爭法調和的區域性國際組織,研究範圍包括歐盟、APEC以及NAFTA。其中APEC所從事的活動較近於政策性的調和,屬於競爭政策的宣導;NAFTA則進一步具有競爭法的實體規範;歐盟不但具有實體規範,並具有一套全球獨步的競爭法執行架構。 第四章為國際組織,將討論UN, WTO和OECD在國際競爭法的發展。UN基本上雖為政治組織,但是對於競爭議題也相當重視;WTO部分則將討論目前競爭議題在WTO體系的進展,並進一步討論WTO進行國際競爭法調和工作的可行性和不可行性;OECD對於競爭議題也一直相當重視,本文將探討OECD在競爭議題方面的研究成果。 第五章為全球性的競爭法規範,討論的範圍有UNCTAD所提出的「管制限制性商業行為的一套多邊協議的公平原則和規則(Set of Multilaterally Agreed Equitable Principles and Rules for the Control of Restrictive Business Practices)」以及DIAC。這兩套全球性的競爭法不但都具有實體規範也都提出一套制度性規範,雖然兩者都未能成為具有拘束力的國際競爭法,但是其所提出的實體規範內容和架構設計仍值得我們做進一步的研究。「管制限制性商業行為的一套多邊協議的公平原則和規則」本身是以聯大決議的形式呈現,因此在某一角度而言,「管制限制性商業行為的一套多邊協議的公平原則和規則」並未失敗,然而DIAC原本乃是預定成為WTO的附件之一,唯最後這樣的理想並未實現,因此我們有必要去問,DIAC的失敗因素為何?是基於其實體內容的設計問題,或是制度面的設計問題?或者是因為其他的外在因素? 最後,在第六章的結論,本文將試圖分析各種競爭法調和方式的利弊得失,並且提出建議。 / Some people oppose globalization, while others support globalization. However, it is undeniable that globalization is an on-going trend. Another on-going trend is market-oriented economy structure. The structure of market-oriented economy bases on the theory that competition contributes to reasonable allocation of resource. On the other hand, globalization expands the scope of the allocation of resources. However, the proliferation of globalization and the structure of market-oriented economy and the elimination of trade barriers also promote the development of transnational anticompetitive activities. Antitrust is no more a pure domestic issue, it is also an international issue nowadays. International antitrust problems could be divided into two parts. First, the international antitrust activities hinder the development of international trade. Second, different antitrust standards of each country cause international tense situation and increase enterprises’ cost. First situation contains following aspects: 1. International cartels ruin market competition system and welfare of consumers. 2. Transnational companies abuse their dominant power all globally and affect international competition order and consumers’ welfare. 3. Absence of competition law and unenforcement of it constitute market entrance obstacles. Second situation also contains following aspects: 1.Different standards of international mergers bring many results, such as increasing enterprises’ extra cost, hindering the proceedings of international mergers, and causing international tensions. 2. The conflict between industry policy and competition policy of countries. Facing those transnational antitrust problems, the issue of the harmonization of competition law has been raised. This issue is drawing more and more attention in several international organizations day by day. In fact, to deal with the domestic effect of abroad anticompetitive activities to protect national interest, the theory “extraterritorial application” of domestic law has been raised. However, the extraterritorial application of domestic law is unable to solve all the problems that the international anticompetitive activities have brought. Furthermore, it has also made new problems and caused international tensions. To enforce antitrust law effectively in international cases, cooperation and coordination between national competition agencies are unavoidable. In addition, bringing antitrust law up to international law level and avoiding nations ruin free trade system by non-tariff strategy seem also be needed. The main purpose of this essay is to understand and analysis the current situation of the harmonization of competition law and to find out the solution of transnational competition problems in the era of globalization and the era of free-trade. This essay has been divided into 6 chapters. The first chapter is the introduction, which illustrates the international competition problems in the era of globalization and brings out the studying scope and purpose of this essay. The second chapter talks about international competition bilateral treaties between U.S. and E.U., Australia and New Zealand, Taiwan and other countries. The discussing scope contains the cooperation content which was set up by the bilateral treaty, its concrete result, and the reasons of its failure or success. As for Taiwan, this essay focuses on the review of its current situation and where its future is. The third chapter talks about regional international organizations which involve in the harmonization of competition law, such as E.U., APEC and NAFTA. APEC’s activities are more closer to the harmonization of policies, which promote competition activities. NAFTA has substantial competition regulations. E.U. not only has substantial regulations but also has the first set of enforcement system of international competition law in the world. The forth chapter is international organization, which talks about the development of international competition law in U.N., WTO and OECD. Although basically U.N. is a political organization, it also highly emphasizes competition issues. In addition, this chapter talks about the development of competition issues in the WTO system and the possibilities of promoting the harmonization of international competition law in WTO. Additionally, OECD also emphasizes competition issues very much. This chapter also talks about the study result of OECD in the competition issues. The fifth chapter is the global competition regulations, which contains “Set of Multilaterally Agreed Equitable Principles and Rules for the Control of Restrictive Business Practices” of UNCTAD and “ Draft International Antitrust Code”. Both of the global competition laws contain substantial regulations and the design of enforcement systems. Although both of them ended up in unrestrictive regulations, they also deserve further research. “Set of Multilaterally Agreed Equitable Principles and Rules for the Control of Restrictive Business Practices” was brought out with the form of UN General Assembly Resolution, but it is successful in some aspect. DIAC was meant to be an Annex of WTO originally. However this idea was not realized at the end. Why DIAC failed? Was it because of the design of its substantial content or the design of the enforcement structure or other outside factors? At last, this essay will analysis the shortages and advantages of all kinds of the harmonization of competition law and bring out recommendations in the conclusion of chapter 6.
